In preparation for its second patent trial against Samsung scheduled for Spring 2014, Apple has revealed it will seek to include Samsung's new Galaxy S4 smartphone in a list of 22 products it believes infringe iOS user interface patents. As part of its statement filed with the US District Court in California yesterday Apple said it analyzed the Galaxy S4 after its release, and has "concluded that it is an infringing device and accordingly intends to move for leave to add the Galaxy S4 as an infringing product."

In order to add the Galaxy S4 to a[url="http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/31/3284223/apple-accuses-four-more-samsung-devices-infringement"] list of infringing products it originally filed in August 2012[/url], Apple will "eliminate (without prejudice)" one of Samsung's accused smartphones and tablets

Honestly I really do hate what Apple is doing, however you can't knock them. The way the current patent system is set up for user interface design allows Apple to do this. I think its time the patent system for user interface design gets looked it and maybe its something that hasn't evolved yet with current trends. Developing something new in the 2d digital space has every right to be patented depending on the use. Maybe Apple should also look at the fact that they are creating new standards in the mobile interface world and people will follow.

Kind of funny that most of the lawsuits in the UK Apple lost and had to apologize...but not in the US.
